That knocking sound! It is your "Actuator" 1 of 4 but it controls your heat blend door and is located behind the glovebox just to the left the part is $64 it will stop the knocking sound that starts after you shut the car off or after being started. Depending on which one it is you will feel cold air blowing while the AC is off. I have an Impala SS and my wife has an old LT we have experience almost all of the common annoyances "Chevy shit" lol P.S. DON'T FORGET TO SQUEEZE THE TABS on the back side TO RELEASE YOUR GLOVEBOX.

Shawn G hit it in the head! I had to squeeze and push down on glove box so that it fully falls forward and down you will see that it is no longer on the gear. Check both actuators by turning air controls from lower foot to front winder defrost😀. Hopefully it’s not the other two not on passenger side. Most likely it’s the far right one not left on that passenger behind glove box side. Man it’s a pain in the butt I changed it yesterday and I only have 30k on my 07’ SS. Use a small ratchet or wrench due to limited space. There are one or two good videos on KZitem.

Super helpful! I was not looking forward to dealing with that belt tightener, but the advice of taking off the wheel was money.

Nice work. I appreciate this. I would add that some auto parts stores have a belt tensioner tool for loan you can use in the engine bay rather than taking the tire off. Thanks again.

This was a big help. I have to replace mine & I really don't like going to shops if I can do the work myself. I'm a car guy, just needed to know how to get the belt off. This helped big time

Just an FYI, you could have used a serpentine tool and you would not have to take off the passenger side tire. I got mine off of Amazon.com. They run about $28 - 30 dollars. Saves time from having to take off the tire to get to the tension bar.

Great video, I have to replace my alternator, and was worried about a 6-hour job, but this helped a lot. At about 16 minutes in the video, there is a click sound in the background, my car (2006 impala ss) is occasionally making a similar sound, which sounds like its coming from the heating ducts inside. do you have any idea what it is?

Daniel Gagnon it's the blend door actuator. I had to replace two of them behind the glove box. Their is four in total. That was causing my windows to fog up.

Daniel Gagnon Sad thing is Advanced Auto screwed me out of a alternator turns out it was a battery. I have a 08 3.5 LT luxury package with the sunroof in white. How is your transmission holding up. I heard the 5.3 ripped through the four speed.
